LOL
In a sense, I actually agree with you. I wouldn't hate it if we make it all the way without losing but in my opinion, a lose will make the team even hungrier.

the answer is still no. there's no benefit to losing games, especially when we basically need to run the table and have GB stumble to avoid going to Lambeau in the playoffs.

Can't we have something exposed while still winning at the same time? NYG definitely exposed some areas of concerns. As did all our previous games with the exception of the Tampa game.

We probably have a better chance against Green Bay in Lambeau with bad weather conditions than in SF.

We've already lost the game that turned the season around.

we play well on the road obviously but i doubt we'd have a better chance in Lambeau than at the 'Stick.

You don't need another team to expose you to know what you're weaknesses are. I think this group of coaches and players are good enough that they can find their weaknesses on their own and address them. Also, I have no worries about this team getting too full of themselves....you can tell they are all grounded and hungry.

you learn alot more from a loss. I would say no to such a question but if a genuine loss is the one step back that the team needs to go two steps forward, then so be it. Genuine loss! not a loss for anything else.

Obviously not on purpose.... I think our guys are pretty humble so it's not like we need to get grounded. Some teams like the Colts that went 12-0 every year in the past could have used a loss to ground them. Like I said we are humble. If we aren't learning from our mistakes I would say yes then a loss might help us get refocused. With this staff I am not to worried.
